|
|
|
|
| Web Filter: | This feature provides options allowing you to filter any |
|
|
|
| potential risk contained in some web technologies by |
|
|
|
| individually checking “Allow” or “Deny”. |
|
|
|
| Web proxy is a server your device will connect to when you |
|
|
|
| access any web site. Setting web proxy can speed up |
|
|
|
| access time but also can create other potential security |
|
|
|
| issues. For example, if you configure the Wireless Security |
|
|
|
| Router to block access to 216.115.102.76, which is the IP |
|
|
|
| address of www.yahoo.com, it will fail. This is because your |
|
|
|
| PC will connect to web proxy server instead of connecting to |
|
|
|
| Yahoo’s IP address. |
|
|
|
| Java & Active X are programming languages for web page. |
|
|
|
| However, some potentially harmful Trojan programs and |
|
|
|
| viruses are also written in these languages. If you deny |
|
|
|
| access to either of these, you may run the risk of not having |
|
|
|
| access to certain web pages. |
|
|
|
| A cookie is a small piece of data (usually in the form of a text |
|
|
|
| file), which is stored on your PC when you visit certain web |
|
|
|
| sites. This allows the server to identify your machine at a |
|
|
|
| future date. The cookie normally contains an ID number but |
|
|
|
| can also contain other information. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Block | By enabling the Block WAN Request feature, you can |
|
|
| WAN | prevent your network from being "pinged," or detected, by |
|
|
| Request: | other Internet users. The Block WAN Request feature also |
|
|
|
| reinforces your network security by hiding your network |
|
|
|
| ports. Both functions of the Block WAN Request feature |
|
|
make it more difficult for outside users to work their way into your network. This feature is enabled by default. Check this to enable this feature.
3.10 Services
3.10.1 Virtual Server
The Virtual Server Settings application allows you to set up more than ten public services that can be accessed by external users of the Internet, such as a Web, Email, FTP etc. Each service is provided by a dedicated network computer (server) configured with a fixed IP Address. Although the internal service addresses are not directly accessible to the external user, the Wireless Security Router is able to identify the service requested by the service port number and redirects the request to the appropriate internal IP Address/server. To use this application, it is recommended you use a fixed Public IP Address from your ISP. Note that your Wireless Security Router supports only one server for each particular type.
